Enthusiasm for agrol declined, largely because petroleum interests such as the American Petroleum Institute effectively lobbied against power alcohol and ensured that its price did not fall to the level of gasoline. Observers at DuPont, and presumably other industries as well, determined that it was prudent to pay attention to the chemurgy movement but that simple economics mandated that coal and petroleum were likely to be the raw materials of their industry.
